Story

3 Squares, founded by David Vincent Mills with life long friend and musical colleague, bassist Daren Burns, and long time friend and musical colleague, drummer Craig Bunch, is a progressive instrumental jazz trio, who has played together for twenty years, that embraces the tradition of jazz by composing original works as vehicles for improvisation. At the group's core is the desire to integrate different musical styles through experimentation to discover the interplay between those styles in the hopes of revealing a new voice. Each of the band members not only draws influences from traditional Western music, such as jazz, classical, rock, and funk, but they also tap into other various musical genres of the world for inspiration including African, Asian, Indian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Native American. In addition, by using conventional instruments of a jazz trio, modern electronics, and unconventional instruments such as melodica and toy piano, 3 Squares bridges cultural traditions of the past with present day technology with the goal of creating something unique that represents the contemporary world we live in.
